Debut Buddies

“You wil have to listen us before you git him from us, and pay us a big cent to!" That's the Debut Buddies promise for this fortnight's episode about the First Ransom Note. We travel back to 1874 Germantown/Philadelphia, PA and tell the story of the kidnapping of Charley Ross, a four year-old, and the first time a ransom note had ever happened in the United States, and how it reverberated through history. But why were all 22 notes in someone's basement? Oh, and get ready for a MouthGarf Report... AND some I See What You Did There.

It's time for another HOT GIRL SUMMER so we're talking about the day that officially kicks off the season (depending on who you talk to): the Summer Solstice. Yes, this is a NorHem centric podcast, so we're talking about June 20-22 as the Summer Solstice, but we give some love to our friends in the SoHem who celebrate Christmas on their own Summer Solstice. Plus, we survey all the St. John the Baptist related solstice holidays, some Stonehenge history, much much more!

What was the first skyscraper? Was it a building? Was it a particularly tall horse? Or just a regular-sized horse next to a very small man? Guest Victoria Bruick (Book Club with Julia and Victoria) joins the Buddies to talk about tall buildings, sinking structures, steal, stone, and Chicago... And so much more. Plus, we dive deep into the Mouthgarf Report and I See What You Did There.

These days, people drop F-bombs everywhere! Why, you'd be hard pressed to find a place where you won't hear one! But when was f*ck first spoken on American television? For that, we have to go back to 1981, but we'll go back even further... to 1956. Guest Michael J. O'Connor (musician, writer, podcaster) sits us down and tells us a tale of Saturdays, Nights Live, and Charles Rocket among so much more. Plus, we play I See What You Did There.

In the beginning there was nothing... Then, suddenly, you had to hide your kids, hide your wife, build an Ark, get down with some Nephilim, and beget shit done (mostly more begetting). We dig deep into the First book of the Bible, Genesis, purportedly written by Moses, considered to be historically a good bit younger, but filled to the brim with zany, vengeful, incestuous hubbub! Then, we talk Mouthguard Report... and play a game!

Back in 1958, Robert Rauschenberg erased a De Kooning. Sometime since 1964, an Angry Girlfriend vandalized an Amazing Spider-Man #14. In 2023, we're assaulting your ears... On this episode, we discuss the First Artwork to Increase in Value After Being Vandalized. Was it "Erased de Kooning Drawing"? Was it the Angry Girlfriend Variant? What is vandalism? What is art? Oh... we get into it! Plus, we play I See What You Did There!

Prehistorical ballsacks, missing teeth, and haphazard sketches of giant lizards done by bewigged men... On this episode, we're talking about the First Dinosaur Discovered, and that bad boy is Megalosaurus. First pondered in 1677, but resurging on 90s Jim Henson TV, this dinosaur brings all the cloaca to the yard, and we just happen to take moment in that yard to talk about it. Plus, we get into a new business idea on the Mouthgarf report, and play a little I See What You Did There!

Hot on the heels of our First Conspiracy Theory episode the Debut Buddies discuss the First Female Serial Killer... or do we!?
